Question

A video game store has a 6% discount on all video games. The total cost for the video games you want is $150, how much is your discount?

Answer 1

`9` dollars (assuming you get `6` percent on everything together and not separately).

Explanation:

I personally like to use this triangle when I work with percentage

So we just put in our values. We have the whole and the percentage.

Start with making `6%` in decimal form ( you need the percentage in decimal form for this to work)

`6% = 0.06`

Now take the whole times that. So:

`150xx0.06=9`

So `9` dollars.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

`$9` is the total discount.

Explanation:

`0.06times$150 = $9`

Note that 6% means `0.06`.

You pay `$141` to purchase the video games you want.
